    How do I stop rationalising PMO use?

    My most recent rationalisation was that I was 'just going to listen to some lofi hip hop beats'. I walked out mid-conversation when I was talking to my dad and I remember seeing how disgruntled he looked. He wanted me to speak to him. He was enjoying my company and all of a sudden I pulled it...

    Procrastination

    So, let's talk about procrastination for a moment. I am a master procrastinator. That's something I know I need to work on. Who else deals with this?

    Procrastination

    Came across this interesting trailer for a book. Succinctly explains present bias and how this keeps us from becoming the people we want to be.

    Effects of avoiding PMO

    I use "avoiding" as that's how it has seemed over the past few weeks. I haven't even been counting the days (of course once I post this and see my counter I'll have a better idea of how long it's been). What has happened is that I'm feeling emotions a lot more. Every so often I'll binge on...
